A beef cheek relleno bake on the drum
 

Took a shortcut, instead of dipping the stuffed chilies and frying them individually, I layered everything lasagna style.

Blistered, steamed, peeled and seeded some anahiems (my favorite).

layered them in the cast iron pot, topped with beef cheek meat that I cooked with onions, green, red and yellow peppers.

topped with asadero cheese and repeated the layers two more times.

made my batter using 8 whipped egg whites, 8 yolks and 8 TBs of flour,
poured the batter over the top...sprinkled with dry rub.

Turned out pretty good! Really saved a lot of time making them this way too.

Thanks for looking

I knew as soon as I saw beef cheeks that it was Jeanie... That looks great! So, if you were to do that one again, would you change or add anything? Reason I ask is I've got about 8lbs of beef cheeks in the freezer....

Very nice post and I love your batter!

I am really glad you called that rig a drum smoker because it's the direct opposite of a UDS.

That cook looks Delicious!

Thanks Marty! I do love beef cheeks. :-D
The batter doesn't have salt so the sauce is a must. (for my taste buds anyway) I think you could add salt to the batter but I haven't tried it.
Sounds like you have a good suppy of cheeks! Can't wait to see what you make. Thanks again..

Thank you Toast! The drum is so shiny, I love it. :mrgreen:

That looks fantastic as usual Jeanie! Heck I think you could even consider that baked...hint, hint. :) :thumbup:

There is just no end to your creativity! That looks incredible, and chili rellenos is one of my favorites. Just may have to sleal yet another idea, LOL.

Thanks Jason! :grin:

Code3, Thank you, you're welcome to it. lol I've gone from stuffing and frying them individually to casserole style... think I'm getting lazy! :mrgreen:

Miss Jeanie that looks fantastic. Comfort food at it's best.

Thanks Bob! :grin:

That looks perfect

Awesome. I hope you entered that in the Get Baked Throwdown!

Not jealous at all.......nope!

Ive never seen a cake that I wanted more!

Superb plate shot with that sauce and the gorgeous coloring of the baked, almost souffle like top Jeanie, that really is a cracker !
Fantastic shortcut too!

That's genius. Looks delicious! You got some serious skills.

Thaat looks fantastic! I think i'm gonna try that for tailgating.
